25 * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS.
27 These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
28 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
30 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
31 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
32 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
34 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
35 (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)

40 Report by Daniel C. Bastos <dbast0s@yahoo.com.br> on bug-gnu-emacs
41 from 2007-08-27. Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as
42 of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this.
43 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01497.html
45 ** emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with patches)
46 Only outstanding issue seems to be whether Solaris 2.6 GTK can be
47 supported in the absence of recursive mutexes, via a change to
48 alloc.c, or whether configure should abort.
49 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2007-09/msg00055.html
55 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
57 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
58 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
59 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying
60 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
62 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
63 names of the people who have checked it.
